The end is in sight for Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellot and former partner John Pauciulo, who have been embroiled in legal controversy surrounding Par Funding for close to three years.
The prolonged litigation has entangled several key players in Philadelphia's legal sphere, including Gaetan Alfano, who was the target of a physical assault due to his involvement in the case.
Other firms involved include Fox Rothschild, Troutman Pepper and Bochetto & Lentz, along with two lawyers who've represented Donald Trump and his businesses.

For the past three years, Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott and former Philadelphia partner John Pauciulo have been embroiled in legal proceedings stemming from a raft of illegal activity perpetrated by the founders of cash advance company Par Funding.
